I know it’s traditional not to put up your Christmas decorations until 1st Dec, but I am going to be away for a while. I fly to Darwin on your Dad’s birthday, (Kyle, 23rd Nov 1985) for 9 days to reconnect with where he was born and places he went doing things he loved. It’s my way of privately celebrating his birthday.

 

I come back on the 2nd Dec and fly out again on 5th Dec for 8 days at a Crystal Healing Retreat in Qld/NSW to complete the remainder of my Diploma in Crystal Shamanism. I am already a Reiki Master and Certified Energy Worker, as well a Crystal Practitioner. All of this is to help build my small business, Celtic Healing, that your Dad inspired me to start on this journey he’s put me on. That’s why his drawing is the company logo.

Anyway, this is why I have started to do Christmas decorating early. The the outdoor lights are up, the indoor decorations out and the tree is trimmed – the presents wrapped and under it!.

The stockings are filled and hung (including yours and your Dad’s) – and the pudding is made.

Your crystal ornaments for your birth and first christmas are up with the others, and so it your Dad’s Baby’s First Christmas ornament – 32 years old now!

I also went to your cousin Amy’s (6 years old) School Fete (I was helping out on the Garden Stall) and whilst there I saw a beautiful ornament that made me cry. It is a glass dome with an empty chair inside. It lights up, and on the glass it says: Christmas in Heaven, what do they do? They come down to Earth to spend it with you? So save them a seat, just one empty chair. You may not see them but they will be there. So I bought it and it is now displayed in the lounge room cabinet near your Dad’s Quaich, Cufflinks, his empty Urn that held his ashes, and the empty beer bottle we poured and drank for him at Peasholm St Dog Beach last year.

The only thing missing now is YOU – My little Gingernut Biscuit – love you to the moon and back Cash. Always and forever, YaYa xxx
